A probabilistic approach for computing water retention of particulate systems from statistics of grain size and tessellated pore network

The paper offers an analytical determination of the hydraulic properties of an unsaturated soil with reference to its retention curve, which describes the relationship between the volumetric water content and capillarity through matric suction. The analysis combines a particulate approach focused on the physics at the pore scale, including microstructural aspects, with a probabilistic approach where the void space and grain size are considered as random variables. In the end, the soil water characteristic curve of an unsaturated granular medium along a drying path can be derived analytically based on the sole information of particle size distribution. The analysis hinges on the tessellation of a wet granular system into an assemblage of tetrahedral unit cells revealing a pore network upon which capillary physics are computed with respect to pore throat invasion by a non-wetting fluid with evolving pendular capillary bridges. The crux of the paper is to pass from particle size probability distribution to a matching void space distribution to eventually reveal key information such as void cell and solid volume statistics. Making reasonable statistically based assumptions to render calculations tractable, the water retention curve can be readily constructed. Model predictions compare quite favourably with experimental data available for actual soils, especially in the high saturation range. Having a sound scientific basis, the model can be made amenable to address a variety of soils with a wider range of particle sizes.  相似文献   

银河系铝元素丰度研究     

马文娟  李宏杰  张波 《天文学报》2019,60(5):15-21

恒星的Al元素丰度可以为探索星团和星系的化学演化提供重要线索.通过系统分析银河系薄盘、厚盘、核球、银晕以及M4、M5等球状星团中恒星的[Al/Fe]随恒星金属丰度[Fe/H]的变化趋势,得出银河系薄盘、厚盘和核球恒星的[Al/Fe]随着[Fe/H]的增加而缓慢下降,而球状星团M4和M5恒星的[Al/Fe]随[Fe/H]增加没有下降趋势,这暗示Ia超新星对M4和M5恒星元素丰度的贡献比较小.详细研究了银河系恒星[Al/Fe]与[Mg/Fe]、[Na/Fe]的相关性,结果表明银河系场星的[Al/Fe]与[Mg/Fe]正相关,但在球状星团M4和M5恒星中未见此相关性;银河系盘星及M4和M5等球状星团恒星的[Al/Fe]与[Na/Fe]都存在正相关.  相似文献

On the linear elastic responses of the 2D bonded discrete element model     

Gao-Feng Zhao  Qiuyue Yin  Adrian R. Russell  Yingchun Li  Wei Wu  Qin Li 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2019,43(1):166-182

The bonded discrete element model (DEM) is a numerical tool that is becoming widely used when studying fracturing, fragmentation, and failure of solids in various disciplines. However, its abilities to solve elastic problems are usually overlooked. In this work, the main features of the 2D bonded DEM which influence Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus, and accuracy when solving elastic boundary value problems, are investigated. Outputs of numerical simulations using the 2D bonded DEM, the finite element method, a hyper elasticity analysis, and the distinct lattice spring model (DLSM) are compared in the investigation. It is shown that a shear interaction (local) factor and a geometric (global) factor are two essential elements for the 2D bonded DEM to reproduce a full range of Poisson's ratios. It is also found that the 2D bonded DEM might be unable to reproduce the correct displacements for elastic boundary value problems when the represented Poisson's ratio is close to 0.5 or the long-range interaction is considered. In addition, an analytical relationship between the shear stiffness ratio and the Poisson's ratio, derived from a hyper elasticity analysis and applicable to discontinuum-based models, provides good agreement with outputs from the 2D bonded DEM and DLSM. Finally, it is shown that the selection of elastic parameters used the 2D bonded DEM has a significant effect on fracturing and fragment patterns of solids.  相似文献   

Improved algorithms for generalized finite element simulations of three-dimensional hydraulic fracture propagation     

Nathan Shauer  Carlos Armando Duarte 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2019,43(18):2707-2742

This paper reports improvements to algorithms for the simulation of 3-D hydraulic fracturing with the Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM). Three optimizations are presented and analyzed. First, an improved initial guess based on solving a 3-D elastic problem with the pressure from the previous step is shown to decrease the number of Newton iterations and increase robustness. Second, an improved methodology to find the time step that leads to fracture propagation is proposed and shown to decrease significantly the number of iterations. Third, reduced computational cost is observed by properly recycling the linear part of the coupled stiffness matrix. Two representative examples are used to analyze these improvements. Additionally, a methodology to include the leak-off term is presented and verified against asymptotic analytical solutions. Conservation of mass is shown to be well satisfied in all examples.  相似文献

橡胶砂作为一种廉价环保的土工材料，应用前景十分广阔，关于其力学特性的研究具有重要意义。采用弯曲–伸缩元法对橡胶砂进行了剪切波和压缩波联合测试，分别采用离散频率扫描法和初达波法确定了剪切波和压缩波的传播时间，进而得到其弹性动力学参数：初始剪切模量、侧限模量和泊松比，分析了橡胶含量和围压对橡胶砂弹性动力学参数的影响。结果表明：在同样围压下，随着橡胶含量的增加，橡胶砂初始剪切模量和侧限模量逐渐减小，初始泊松比逐渐增大；在同样橡胶含量下，随着围压的增大，橡胶砂初始剪切模量和侧限模量逐渐增大，初始泊松比逐渐减小。最后，在此基础上进行了两种因素耦合效应的分析以及相关力学机制的探讨。  相似文献

程林 《地质与勘探》2020,56(4):745-758

黄陵断穹核部石墨矿是我国鳞片(晶质)石墨矿的主要产区,对该区石墨矿的研究具有重要理论和实际意义。该区已有石墨矿研究成果多侧重于矿床地质方面,对矿床成因分析缺乏地球化学支撑。为此,本文从地球化学层面查明石墨矿原岩类型,碳质富集岩相、变质作用和晶质石墨的形成,为矿床成因和成矿作用提供地球化学依据。通过系统采集区内主要石墨矿样品,进行主量元素、微量元素、稀土元素和同位素分析,根据矿床地球化学原理和分析方法,阐明石墨矿的物质来源,成矿元素集散行为和矿床形成机制。根据主量元素含量和组合,推断石墨的原岩为碳质粉砂质泥岩。微量元素的双重性指示石墨矿的物质有两个来源:中太古代野马洞岩组和中太古代东冲河片麻杂岩。独特的稀土元素配分型式说明物源转化为原岩时存在着强烈的地球化学反应。石墨矿的碳同位素组成支持碳质来自有机物的观点。  相似文献   

Granular element method for three‐dimensional discrete element calculations     

Keng‐Wit Lim  José E. Andrade 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2014,38(2):167-188

This paper endows the recently‐proposed granular element method (GEM) with the ability to perform 3D discrete element calculations. By using non‐uniform rational B‐Splines to accurately represent complex grain geometries, we proposed an alternative approach to clustering‐based and polyhedra‐based discrete element methods whereby the need for complicated and ad hoc approaches to construct 3D grain geometries is entirely bypassed. We demonstrate the ability of GEM in capturing arbitrary‐shaped 3D grains with great ease, flexibility, and without excessive geometric information. Furthermore, the applicability of GEM is enhanced by its tight integration with existing non‐uniform rational B‐Splines modeling tools and ability to provide a seamless transition from binary images of real grain shapes (e.g., from 3D X‐ray CT) to modeling and discrete mechanics computations.Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

A stress and displacement discontinuity element method for elastic transversely anisotropic rock     

A. Bobet  V. García Marín 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2014,38(18):1898-1922

The paper presents closed‐form solutions for stress and displacement influence functions for stress discontinuity (SD) and displacement discontinuity (DD) elements, for a two‐dimensional plane‐strain elastic, transversely anisotropic medium. The solutions for SD elements are based on Kelvin's problem and for DD elements on the concept of dipoles. Stress and displacement influence functions are derived for the following elements: constant SD, linear SD, constant DD, linear DD, square root DD, parabolic DD, constant DD surface, and linear DD surface elements. The formulations are incorporated into FROCK, a hybridized boundary element method code, and are validated by providing comparisons between the results from FROCK and the finite element code ABAQUS. A limited parametric analysis shows the effects of slight anisotropy on the stress field around the tip of a crack and of the orientation of the crack with respect to the axes of elastic symmetry.
